For centuries, builders devised architecture that seamlessly rose from and merged back into stony coast and rolling meadows. This island is home to a timeless landscape of pastoral richness and picturesque views; its buildings a testament to those who sought their fortunes and fulfilled their fantasies, within sight of the mainland, but a world apart. In each case, there is a remarkable relationship between the island’s topography and its architecture. Through maps, paintings, poetry and prose, this book illustrates the vibrant heritage of Jamestown, its role as a place of refuge and retreat through the ages, a paradise shaped by the visions and labors of its inhabitants.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"D Giles Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42900714225725,"sku":"9781913875701","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/0838\/9949\/files\/9781913875701_p0.jpg?v=1771576737","url":"https:\/\/www.tatteredcover.com\/products\/9781913875701","provider":"Tattered Cover","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
